I'm not even sure if that's possible... You may want to just create a new account.

It is possible but extremely hard for tempest and his fellows who do that sort of thing and it is pretty much the same thing as creating a new account

go to the UCP and click on Profile tab on left then click on Edit Avatar then you can use the upload from machine to take a picture on your comp and use it or you could just find a picture online

Changing a username isn't very difficult, at least, not on recent versions of phpBB as it's a bit like editing your profile or changing your avatar. But I prefer to do this as infrequently as possible since it can be confusing for other people to keep track of such changes. So if you prefer to use your usual nick, I can change it, it's not a problem.

Oh, and hi all :)
I'm not dead, I am just terrible at managing my time.

seeing that it IS a possibility to change the user name.

Can I plz have my name Drakel? it would make a lot more sense and I would be able to actually use the signature.

Note that requests for title change should be done in the "Your Custom Titles on this Board" thread. I will process shortly the changes people have requested here.

Hi Tempest, I don't quite like 13 y/o me's choice of forum names. May I have it changed to Corva?

I was looking to see if it was possible to allow the "regular users" group to change their own username to their heart's content... The option is definitely there but this function doesn't really work well so I will continue the "ask and you shall receive" approach for now.

So henceforth, DragonRider shall now be known as Corva.

(Note that this will change your login name as well)

Thanks! Trying to settle on a few across the whole web, makes things easier to keep track of things (I use Corva on SpaceBattles also). Gives me cognitive slack. Though still stuck with old usernames, in someplaces, that my 2edgy4me teenage self decided on. Sigh.

Can't change things too often of course, people can't keep track. Which is why Elsa is my avi on Twitter and remains so :)
